patrimonialisation

I've encountered the same problem. The term is included as part of the title of a paper in Catalan, '...la seva inclusió en la patrimonialització de la memòria democràtica'.

I've ended up here for the same reason, as "patrimonialización" crops up in a translation I'm doing about heritage education and museums. I've more or less decided to paraphrase it as "the designation of an object as heritage"or something like that, because that appears to be what it means, and both "patrimonialization" and "heritagization" stick in my craw, although the former might be acceptable (to me) at a pinch. If any of my academic clients tried to insist on "heritagization", I'd give them a piece of my mind. Having said that, it gets over 15,000 hits on Google: "The theoretical framework of the research was based on heritagisation, a concept defined by Harrison (2013) as the process through which objects, places and practices are turned into cultural heritage. " But I'm still not buying it. :-)

Thanks again to all
The university wants to go with "heritagization" (in use since the '90s) as one word and "making heritage" as explanation so, I've agreed, albeit reluctantly. It would necessitate major rewrites to use phrases and/or double-barrelled expressions though I do use these as well throughout the document and the term is explained so the meaning is clear.
@ Sheila I think this word is quite typical of jargon used in academic papers.
I came upon a further expansion of this term as "patrimondialisation" for which we've decided to use "worldwide heritagization" or "designation of heritage on a worldwide scale"...(39 pages of this and I'm only about halfway!). I agree with you Charles that "patrimonialisation" is not the way to go here at all but personally I find "heritagization" a bit more English looking and easier to pronounce. Anyway, inspiration may strike before I reach the end of the document!

Stop beating yourself up looking for one and go with whatever sounds most natural. Nothing worse than a franglais text.

I don't think finding a single word is an overriding priority. If a suitable one emerges, great, but I doubt it will. A two-word or double-barrelled expression (heritage creation, heritage promotion, heritage designation, or whatever) would work perfectly well, in my view, and I don't see anything wrong with using a phrase in particular cases (e.g. giving heritage status to...). "Heritage" is the word, I think; I would avoid "patrimony" and derivatives entirely. The problem with "heritagization" is not that it's ugly and difficult to read and pronounce (though it is) but that it's not self-explanatory, at least to me. I would definitely not use it myself.

A few examples...most abstracts where these words are used are written by non-natives

"heritagization" easily associates with National Heritage, "patrimonialization" not so much;

but "patrimonialization" is not a tongue twister as "heritagization", much nicer word to hear!

Thanks to all those who have made suggestions so far

Could I also ask your opinion re using the words "patrimonialization" or "heritagization"? I know we do use the word "patrimony" sometimes for "heritage" http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/patrimo... and the latter word is obviously derived from "heritage"... and possibly looks less like franglish?

- if you want just one word you are forced to use/create some ugly combination ending with isation or ing or ... like "heritagization" which is easy to understand however much it might be ugly // have seen far worst cases of bureaucratic language gone mad, if it's any consolation.

otherwise "incorporating in the national heritage" could be an option?

I found "heritage designation" on http://www.linguee.com/french-english/translation/patrimonia...
Maybe it helps.

Hi Yolanda,
Thanks! Yes, need to brainstorm this...This project is actually about heritage in Europe and raising awareness of it through a new digital program with serious games and on-the-fly tweaking based on feedback and browsing activity etc ...
I've already done a lot of work on it so will have a Eureka moment if someone manages to come up with the goods!
I should also have mentioned that various institutes and universities/research centres across Europe are participating and there is shared expertise

Asset building or estate building are what leaps to mind, but, in either case, that's two words.
